In August 2013, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak criticised Ashton Kutcher's portrayal of the late Apple founder Steve Jobs in the biopic Jobs.

"I suspect a lot of what was wrong with the film came from Ashton's own image of Jobs," said Wozniak.

In repsonse, Kutcher claimed that Wozniak was "extremely unavailable" during the making of the film, and that he was “being paid by another movie studio to help support their Steve Jobs film” (Steve Jobs, a film by Danny Boyle was released in 2015).

“These [statements] are examples of Ashton still being in character," Wozniak retaliated. " I was turned off by the 'Jobs' script. But I still hoped for a great movie.”
